Herbie Hancock Jams With The Roots On Jimmy Fallon

Jazz musician Herbie Hancock has been busy this year. He’s promoting his memoir Possibilities which includes stories spanning from his years playing with Miles Davis to when his hip-hop hybrid song “Rockit” hit the airwaves in 1983 to his most recent collaborations with Flying Lotus.

The 74-year-old artist was honored this week with a lifetime achievement award from the Jazz Foundation of America at the Apollo Theater. After receiving the award from actor Bruce Willis (remember, he used to have a music career), Hancock reunited his famous 70s band Mwandishi for the first time in 40 years to play the song ‘Toys.’ Hancock is going to follow up that once-in-a-lifetime performance on October 27, when he’ll sit in with The Roots on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
